FYI: there are a whole family of network types which have multiple addresses (long/short). This includes: 1) BTLE - RFC 7668 IPv6 over BLUETOOTH(R) Low Energy 2) G.9959 - RFC 7428 Transmission of IPv6 Packets over ITU-T G.9959 Networks 3) BACnet and DECT will be defined. Some of these have 1 byte short addresses... 4) the various LPWAN people might be able to do IPv6... we'll see. I think that we the 802.15.4 specific stuff is fine for now, and we can figure out it might need generalization later on. -- ] Never tell me the odds! | ipv6 mesh networks [ ] Michael Richardson, Sandelman Software Works | network architect [ ] mcr@sandelman.ca http://www.sandelman.ca/ | ruby on rails [ --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEVAwUBVzzhGICLcPvd0N1lAQKWWgf/TXlS2bKvbLSi/OxhvcC6m4CgMMe0cOpV zE0eh+9LwWu3oOVExakbg2BXuwgUkofz2G+uJtSozzpz4oPTV82Yr31o/CAxGxgB NR8zTtfKpbDPY3712MlnPm8Y9Te86DHDM0asDArzxrjtS7CCqfP7p51H6aahytZk /kIcR0C2/2E1SOJuej+mC5E1rCKvzCaMBRvom82oeyR2I34tXGcRdVxYGd8HOvTL 855eKKSBaNCmpo0pRCY8bAfllfmkiJ8QgSTCWwZbHi4hJBo4dPiJFFcTTMLe/w0M KbiHGoVM3WNQtw8zOgFRMAlYW9QcxaD5IJyVHWlgtU1PCcTpa2BKAg== =gmgA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
